This game was almost like survival horror to me...Like the first Resident Evil. -Can run out of ammo very quickly and there's not a shitload. -Only a few hits until you're dead. -Varied enemies don't exist. -Great controls don't exist -Reading, lol.
The game is actually closer to the book, than to the movie. The river, the t-Rex next to the river, the volcanic area, the boat. It’s all in the book as I remember. Been some time.
You said it. Impressive. They took advantage of every bit of technology to make this game look and work as fluid as it does. This ms,ve been towards the end of NES era. Just compare the first games on that console to thzt one. It almost looks as good as a snes game. i am wowed.
The interesting thing is despite the fact that it's a bit repetitive due to the fact that you're getting around or shooting dinos to collect eggs for cards to get you through places to lead to certain objectives, in a way, the fact that you're going through stampedes, shooting/blowing up dinos and shit as well as facing a T-Rex blows the fun factor through the roof. The fact that it's so easy to just pick up and play and get a good challenge from and the music is probably what makes it so epic
I had the Gameboy version and its interesting to see they practically are the same game as this one (just lack of color). I didn't recall it being on nes but remember it on SNES back then. Pretty cool!
Actually, this game is based more on the novel than the movie. Grant is using Muldoon's rocket launcher, there was a raft sequence in the book that ended with a face-off with the T-Rex, and stage 4 is just like in the book where they find the storage shed on the south part of the island with bombs and other gear and go into the raptor nests.
In the Game Boy version, it's even harder because the screen size is so small and the play area is larger where you can't see a stampeding Triceratops until it's only a few inches away. Now, I've never made it to the second stampede level in the Game Boy version (farthest I got to was Level 3 before it froze on me [using VirtualNES online]), but if it's anything like the NES version, it would be impossible to outmaneuver a running Trike when it's a split second away from crushing me.
It's probably just a matter of personal preference since the only real differences are the terminal sequences for Level 3 and the bosses and an additional stampede, as well as some damage differences from touching enemies. I know that because I grew up with the Game Boy version, so transitioning to the NES wasn't too hard at all
I grew up on the GameBoy version of this game, never knowing there was an NES version. It was very interesting comparing the differences, for instance, at the end of the 2nd level, instead of fighting the T-Rex you lead Lex through to the exit and stand still when the T-Rex comes. When restoring the power, the terminal sequence is also different. I don't remember if you face a T-Rex at the end of level 6. Still, very similar game, almost exactly identical with a few key differences. Loved it :)
I love this game and my favorite are the Raptors. When I used to play this game (so want this game again!), I tried NOT to kill the Raptors unless it was absolutely necessary...and I mean ABSOLUTELY necessary. The compies were annoying because they were small and certain weapons were needed to pick them off at certain levels. But, I fell in love with the Raptors that I hated killing those I had to kill to advance in the game.
I doubt you'll see this, but you know what would be cool? To have a killing limit. Nothing too complicated to accomplish, but to try to not kill every dinosaur you find and try instead to outmaneuver them.
@@benjames6238 not even passwords, the game is short enough to be played in one sitting just fine... It just didn't need trial and error bosses, and surprise bombs disguised as health pickups. Otherwise, I did beat the game just fine!
When I was 8 yrs old, the movie didn't even come out and my dad brought this game to me from México, I didn't understand a thing and since I didn't speak english at all, I've never past the third level. But I loved the music.
You forgot about the part of getting to the helipad and facing the T-Rex and keeping Tim and Lex safe. It sure doesn't seem like 6 levels but it's because the sections relate to different levels. For instance, to save Tim, you need to open the gates after you get access into the buildings. That's why the stampede and the gate part count as part of level 1, because they are relevant to the same objective of Level 1. That's the logic behind it
This game is a well-crafted game and no doubt about it. Very unusual for a game-of-the-movie, and especially so for the good old NES. Maybe that has something to do with there being no LJN logo there on the start up screens ... Great general concept, good variety, and it really uses the potential of the system in terms of graphics and sound.
Yeah, cuz in the first level you only deal with 4 raptors, which are all alone. You got plenty of space to move in, so it's not too bad. In level 2, you got that pen that's swarming with like 7 raptors in that area alone,some paired. You seriously gotta have a death wish running through that with no ammo. Level 3 has the forest area which is packed with raptors and in tight corners too. I think I only made it to Level 3 without shooting/killing any dinos, the T-Rex being an exception.
The thing though with compies is you can lure them a certain direction and maneuver around them if you know what you're doing. Raptors are unpredictable and will chase you across the screen persistently and do the most damage, other than the 1 hit kill dinos. The spitters aka dilophosaurus you can get past if you're fast. The raptors are by far the most annoying in numbers. There are technically only a few tight spots you can't get past the compy without shooting it, like on the boat Level 5
I'm sorry. My position was wrong. It's not directly at where the number of bullets displays. It's just slightly below that, though the number should cover their heads. Tim is sometimes a pain in the rear end when you're trying to turn one way and a Triceratops is inches away from crushing you...and then, Tim gets crushed. I've had that happen to me enough times that I simply skip both stampede levels (the second one because they're too fast to maneuver around them).
oh i see, well we was basing our convo over the movie specs and not the book. tbh i never been much of a reader so its nice someone pointed that out, so how accurate would you say it is based off the novel?
Here's the bright side though, at least you don't have to touch Tim again to get him to follow you when he gets crushed. As for playing it online, I use retrouprising and emuparadise, they run very smoothly without any problem for both Game Boy and NES.
I saw the Kenner Toys logo at the end, and scattered around in the SNES version. Did Kenner actually have involvement with this, and the SNES port of this game, or was it merely a marketing thing?
The only problem with using RUclips for walkthroughs on retro games is when you see it, the video creates the illusion like it's easy. Yet, just try picking up an NES or Genesis controller and you'll instantly realize, it's much harder to do than it looks.
I'm not sure if I have the patience to keep trying while taking hits in either stampede level. I have issues that I haven't told you yet. One of them is I have zero (or almost zero) tolerance to anything that causes me stress. Getting repeatedly hit by dinosaurs (except the Raptors...I love them too much) causes me stress, though that's nothing compared to other things outside of playing games. It's a long story, my friend.
I would highly recommend giving it a shot. It may not look like much but trust me it's easy to play and get into. If the NES proves a bit challenging for you, just give the Game Boy port a shot. It's the same game with a few minor differences. I know that game inside and out and even did an LP on it if you ever get stuck and wanna actually beat it :)
I guess the main key I can suggest is think carefully and quickly where to move and give yourself space so you don't get cornered. Just make sure you're calculated about your movements, or you'll trigger other raptors to chase you. As for the T-Rex in the Game Boy, I totally disagree. It's a joke if you know what to do. In my Let's Play, the bonus video shows how to do it no damage no ammo -one last comment-
I do agree with you though, compies can really be a pain in the ass to get around when you don't have much space to work with, even in the Game Boy version where the raptors and dinos are slower and a bit more stupid. I actually did try a no ammo run just for the hell of it and I think for the NES you'd have to kill some raptors cuz they're too fast and smart to get around in numbers and tight corners. I haven't confirmed it officially but I'm gonna keep experimenting :)
Hmm, I might try that, seeing as the T-Rex does like to keep to the left a lot, which might let me get a lot more easy shots in. I hear ya though, Lex can be a real pain to work with sometimes. In the Triceratops stampede, Tim follows you pretty smoothly, yet Lex tends to like have a delay in that brain of hers, thinking the T-Rex is gonna sit there and let her take her sweet time. That scares me in a way xD
To be honest, I never heard of retrouprising. And, I'm not familiar with using emuparadise. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm so used to using VirtualNES that the other ones seem unfamiliar to me.
What I do during the T-Rex battles (both battles) is position myself on the left side where the number of bullets displays. Any higher or lower and you risk getting eaten. It's slightly more challenging with Lex because she doesn't always end up where you want her to be. If you can get her to follow you right where the number of bullets displays...and stay there...you'll never get eaten. I've left the game on all night while during the T-Rex and I've never been eaten yet.
I love that part of this game when they find dinosaurs and can't believe their eyes that the dinosaurs ARE REAL! ALso the part when the triceratops is sick and they have to feed it medicine so it gets all better now. Those parts are my two favorite parts of this game to play before bed time. (8-8:30pm)
It is possible to beat the first level without killing any of the Raptors, although you may get hit by one or two in certain areas. But, there are Mystery boxes than can restore health if you take any hits from Raptors (unless they take all of your health). I try to keep Raptor deaths down to a minimum and only kill those that are directly in my path or are attacking me.
The game looks like a pretty good time! If it wasn't for the Mystery Boxes of (Mis)Fortune, I'd say it's pretty fair. Edit: Nevermind, the bosses where you have to deal with those stupid kids suck a bit more than they should.
Especially the T-Rex boss, where Lex just seems to go wherever the hell she wants, which 99% of the time is right into the T-Rex's jaws. She might as well yeet herself into its belly.
How did you make it to Level 3 without killing any of the dinosaurs (except T-Rex)? It's impossible to get through the Raptor Pen without killing any of them. I've tried, but there are too many that come right at you. I give you props for not killing them in the pen. By the way, the Game Boy version is much more difficult when trying to defeat the T-Rex. There's a spot you can stay at with the NES version and it won't get you or Lex. But, in the Game Boy version... continued
My advice is to just keep trying no matter how much you get hit. Eventually with time, you get a feel for when and where the Triceratops like to come and will be able to react in time with few hits. It does take a while due to the speed of em though, but you should get it eventually. :)
I could see how that works, everytime you let Tim get crushed or you get crushed, your awesome meter aka life meter goes down. You get 10 points for missing a triceratops. Only difference is you have 3 lives or how many you have at that point and you don't get booed off stage. I like the way you think man :)
Oh. See, I usually head to the left side in the second stampede without Tim. And, when a Triceratops is running straight at me with no time to move, that's when I skip the level. In the first stampede, there have been a few times where I managed to maneuver with Tim and not take a hit. But, those are very few. Usually, Tim and/or I get hit at least once during the stampede, which is why I usually skip this level, too.
You can always go to rom sites as long as you have Java and give it a try there. They got no saves, but that shouldn't be a problem. It's true that the point of the game isn't trying to follow the novel or movie to the script, but the point of the game is to be fun. If it's fun as hell to play, it really shouldn't matter. I'd highly recommend the Game Boy version too, it's pretty much the same deal with a few key differences which are very minor :)
Yeah trust me man, the NES version can be a pain if you're not used to the fast dinos and stampede and boss encounters. The T-Rex part especially because simply letting the kid getting eaten and cheaply losing a life over that, as well as restarting the fight. The Game Boy version isn't any easier either, as it has its own cheap spots. The electric room, the grills and bolts kill you in 1 hit, but they move slower. I totally feel ya, gameplay isn't the best, but nothing's ever perfect :)
On the bright side though, the electric bolts moved slower and were easier to avoid, the NES ones move so fast, it almost looks like it's impossible to get through without getting at least once by the bolts. Still though, the thought you could lose a life from those stupid things made the level really nerve racking. Ended several of my runs before I finally beat this.
I picked up the secret hidden lives in Levels 1 and 2. It's also a matter of maneuvering quickly and carefully. I took hits, but I also knew what boxes healed/damaged me. Another thing is pacing yourself, so you don't accidentally trigger a raptor before you're ready for it. Abuse the doorways too, raptors can't go through doorways. There's also an invincibility box just above the corner with the extra life to help you temporarily. -continues in next comment-
This is such a badass, but unappreciated game. But not anymore! I'm working on a remastered version of this game, that will feature more dinosaurs, locations, and many other stuff! If you guys are interested, follow the discord link on my channel to help us and also see our progress! We are in need of sprite artists and music composers, so if you are interested, hop on! See ya soon!
It actually is possible to do the 2nd stampede without getting hit, you just gotta pay attention and move your ass as soon as you have any room to do so. However, I'd wait until you improve on the game before you try practicing that level. Then again you could always use the Level Skip code to practice those parts in particular, just a suggestion there if you're really struggling. As a rule of thumb, I mainly keep near the bottom center, behind the rock usually so i got more time to react.
Cool, just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't already know. From my understanding, I saw like several copies of the cartridge on Amazon for no more than $10 with a few for shipping and such. A new one is like $40, nowhere near the price you'd pay for a new Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow cartridge but wow, just that I'd share that with ya :)
even though the nes has more parts than the game boy, at least the electric traps don't take a whole life when you touch them, unlike the game boy version.

The music rocks in the NES version! Funky 8-bit 90's beats!
John Welch the full Games on Snes have wonderful vaporwave music
So the hardware comparison is?
I played this game almost... 20 years ago. :D And when I see it and hear that soundtrack - jeez, can't forget something like that.
The game is actually closer to the book, than to the movie. The river, the t-Rex next to the river, the volcanic area, the boat. It’s all in the book as I remember. Been some time.
I had no idea this was on the NES. I played the SNES version and loved that one. This one looks impressive for the NES.

The fact that it's so easy to just pick up and play and get a good challenge from and the music is probably what makes it so epic
Thanks to finish this game, i think i never see the last part.
I had the Gameboy version and its interesting to see they practically are the same game as this one (just lack of color). I didn't recall it being on nes but remember it on SNES back then. Pretty cool!
last time i played i was always stuck at lvl 3.
me too
Jon Jon Joni Dipp Hey same here!! ha ha a
I love this game and the music is awesome.
***** same hare, thanks! 👍
Why don't you 2 Mary it then.
It’s good lol can finally beat it as an adult with Save state. Hahaha.
great classic of nes
Music is fantastic in this.
@rej72380 :NO, because SNES version is already recorded by somebody else :)
Actually, this game is based more on the novel than the movie. Grant is using Muldoon's rocket launcher, there was a raft sequence in the book that ended with a face-off with the T-Rex, and stage 4 is just like in the book where they find the storage shed on the south part of the island with bombs and other gear and go into the raptor nests.
I loved this game
menn please tell me ... do yo know how i can play this game in my windows 7 professional ??? pleasee
THANKS AMIGO!!! como puedo pagarselo ??? muchas gracias!!!! saludos desde argentina!!!
try Nestopia
thanks ya decargue mas de mil juegos !
no es necesario . buscar---> TARINGA JUEGOS DE FAMILY y aparecera un link con mas de MIL JUEGOS
This is one of the most underrated games on nes.
Cause by that time 32 bit cd games were (t)here.
I remember seeing the movie back in 1993 when I young, the part when the t Rex ate man on toilet creeped me out.
Thanks for the memories.
Dude well played! (y)
The music in this game is so cool
Why the heck did Lex think that the T-Rex enclosure was a good place to hide!?
Lol, love this game!
With that Phil Collins music in the background... lol I had no idea this game existed. I was just aware of the SNES version and that's it!
The music on the first level... Isnt that from a amiga-demo?
It is a cover of the Comic Bakery C64 loader tune.
Ahh.. Comic Bakery it is, so true! *kicking myself not being able to connect the dots*
Yeah it must of also been! I never had a C64 (had an Amiga though)and it's really familiar to me.
thank you for the upload. believe me or not this game was like the Skyrim of my childhood : )

Very impressive, Raven. Do you plan on doing an encore perfomance with the SNES version of the game?

You can always go to rom sites as long as you have Java and give it a try there. They got no saves, but that shouldn't be a problem. It's true that the point of the game isn't trying to follow the novel or movie to the script, but the point of the game is to be fun. If it's fun as hell to play, it really shouldn't matter. I'd highly recommend the Game Boy version too, it's pretty much the same deal with a few key differences which are very minor :)
Yeah trust me man, the NES version can be a pain if you're not used to the fast dinos and stampede and boss encounters. The T-Rex part especially because simply letting the kid getting eaten and cheaply losing a life over that, as well as restarting the fight. The Game Boy version isn't any easier either, as it has its own cheap spots. The electric room, the grills and bolts kill you in 1 hit, but they move slower. I totally feel ya, gameplay isn't the best, but nothing's ever perfect :)
@Nemesis311283 Early 90's. The movie came out in 1993 so this would've been out when the movie was still out too.
i love Jurassic park
On the bright side though, the electric bolts moved slower and were easier to avoid, the NES ones move so fast, it almost looks like it's impossible to get through without getting at least once by the bolts. Still though, the thought you could lose a life from those stupid things made the level really nerve racking. Ended several of my runs before I finally beat this.
I picked up the secret hidden lives in Levels 1 and 2. It's also a matter of maneuvering quickly and carefully. I took hits, but I also knew what boxes healed/damaged me. Another thing is pacing yourself, so you don't accidentally trigger a raptor before you're ready for it. Abuse the doorways too, raptors can't go through doorways. There's also an invincibility box just above the corner with the extra life to help you temporarily. -continues in next comment-
I suppose I'm expecting a bit to much :p Though I haven't played it yet so I shall take your word as to its quality until I get hold of a copy.
The only good Jurassic Park game until Lost World on PS1. Love this game and the music is awesome.
MARNY The Snes one us wonderful. the Snes os the true Games. nes version is just a lower version of it
This game shows how well music could be done on the NES even if it was in mono. This and Ninja Gaiden's music.
Konami and Sunsoft say hello
The Amiga is better than most older consoles. Man i miss my 500 :(
Never got passed the trex in level 2
im being serious are you playing smokey bear with a silly gun
@Karnashuk
Yeah, but saw hundreds of people asking the same thing, so I thought, let's go for it ^^.
The triceratops part reminds me of Guitar Hero..
I never got past the T rex fight. Lex's fucking delay on her movements would result in my loss every single time.
Legion Beast same
@ThatRipOff So true. It's not just the games though. It's RUclips. =) No challenge in going and finding the easiest way to doing it.
I think this and Rambo 3 are underrated
El mejor juego que jugue en mi vida
Nice playthrough, but god damn that last bit was so damn tedious!
@PopcornCoolie besides that, i never got too far with it
This is such a badass, but unappreciated game. But not anymore! I'm working on a remastered version of this game, that will feature more dinosaurs, locations, and many other stuff! If you guys are interested, follow the discord link on my channel to help us and also see our progress! We are in need of sprite artists and music composers, so if you are interested, hop on! See ya soon!
You have succeeded where others became dinner.
It actually is possible to do the 2nd stampede without getting hit, you just gotta pay attention and move your ass as soon as you have any room to do so. However, I'd wait until you improve on the game before you try practicing that level. Then again you could always use the Level Skip code to practice those parts in particular, just a suggestion there if you're really struggling. As a rule of thumb, I mainly keep near the bottom center, behind the rock usually so i got more time to react.
Love 8 bit adventures I wish people would create new 8 bit games that last for tons of hours and require days to beat.
I appreciate it dude :)
1st level music sounds very similar to a c64 cracktro
I'm well aware of those sites, but I collect games so I will buy it at some point anyway, good or bad.
Cool, just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't already know. From my understanding, I saw like several copies of the cartridge on Amazon for no more than $10 with a few for shipping and such. A new one is like $40, nowhere near the price you'd pay for a new Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow cartridge but wow, just that I'd share that with ya :)
Hmmm. Coolest credits ever, pretty much also.
How do i download this version??
and kids this is like those papers we made at school about a book we didn't gave a frakk to read x')
even though the nes has more parts than the game boy, at least the electric traps don't take a whole life when you touch them, unlike the game boy version.
jursssic park was on original nintendo ???
Лучший трек на NES!
i remember playing this and being scared to go into the buildings because it was dark. and the fucking t rex scared me too.
Listen to "inrudiment - jurassic park (level 1)".
Veliciraptor was pain in the ass😭😂
